Redbreast 15 Year Irish Whiskey (750Ml)

Description

Redbreast 15 Year Old is a single pot still Irish whiskey from Midleton Distillery in County Cork. The recipe uses both malted and unmalted barley. Copper pot stills distill it three times, the classic Irish way. Then it matures for at least 15 years in bourbon barrels and Oloroso sherry casks. It is bottled at 46% ABV, which gives it a little extra weight.

Pour a glass and give it a minute to breathe. The nose is full and rich. Berry fruits lead the way, backed by a layer of aromatic oils. On the palate it feels round and mellow. Juicy, fleshy fruit meets warm spice and toasted wood. No single note shouts, so the whole glass stays in balance. The finish is long and polished, and it fades slowly.

Its awards back up the reputation. In 2023, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition gave it Double Gold. That same year it took Gold at the World Whiskies Awards and the International Spirits Challenge. It also earned Gold at The Spirits Business Global Irish Whiskey Masters 2023. Wine Enthusiast scored it 93 points in 2023.

This is a whiskey for slow sipping. Start neat. Then add a few drops of water, and notice how the fruit opens up. It also makes a rich, special Old Fashioned. At the table, it sits nicely beside roasted meats, aged cheese or dark chocolate.

Redbreast 15 is a lovely pick if you enjoy whiskey with depth but no fuss. It also makes a thoughtful gift for an Irish whiskey fan. You get the classic pot still style with more age and polish.
